A quick guide to Snowcarbon

Welcome to Snowcarbon! Here's a quick guide to how we can help you make the journey part of the ski holiday.

In the resorts and journey planner section, you can view recommended journey schedules for travel from the UK to 32 great ski resorts in the Alps, using our unique Journey Planner, based on a unique database of hand-researched journeys. Every single train ride in the journey planner we've travelled on, photographed, and described for you. And you can also read reviews of these journeys by other skiers on the Your Stories section - and contribute your own.

For each ski resort you can see in independent, multi section resort review written by our leading ski writers. And for each resort we'll show you the best options for booking independent travel and rail-inclusive ski packages where available too. You can also ask Snowcarbon co-founder Daniel for recommendations on great resorts, lovely journeys and fantastic accommodation providers to help create your ideal ski holiday. Just email Daniel and he'll be happy to help.

The rail-inclusive ski packages section is a unique resource for finding ski holidays from a variety of ski tour operators with rail travel (and transfers) included - which make them easy to book - and good value.
